@pimoore@social.lol @cstross Completely agree about the damage. It's already done in millions of people(beyond deaths).

The reason I asked is exactly that. For there to be a political will to follow through on actual public health measures I've come to believe it will have to be orders of magnitude worse than what we're living through now. I just don't see it happening, but, that doesn't mean I don't believe that it should.

The scientific part, though, isn't rocket science, and even if it were it could be figured out. There has to be a will to do it, though, and seeing as how 90% of people can't even by bothered to cover their mouths for part of their day it's hard to see how we get there at this point.
